One of the advantages we've found with keeping things on a compatible band is the ad-hoc ability to link dishes to sectors during emergencies, or use dishes and sectors for spectral analysis on the one common band.<br>
<br>
Another advantage is the uniformity of config / interface / automation by using the same vendor. Don't need to train folks on special procedures or write exceptions into automation.<span class="m_-1492075230564456577HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

For example... Can we reuse a PtoP 5GHz frequency with high isolation (shielding)?<br>

Why not use 3.4 GHz UBNT radios? We have a link here in Tampa at 16.2 miles<br>
across Tampa Bay running at 130 Mbit/s.<br>
<br>
3.37 to 3.5 GHz (the frequency range of the M3 radios) is totally unused for<br>
the most part. A complete link is well under $1000 including antennas.<br>
